Bead Factory
Finding it
Bead Factory is in Concourse G, 2nd Level Departures by Gate G-8 in Central Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Central Terminal has 32 places to eat and 31 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.
Hours against the security queue
Bead Factory opens at 6am and closes at 9pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical MIA checkpoint queue at 16 minutes around 6am.
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Jewelry and accessories fill the case by Gate G-8 in the Central Terminal, open 6:00 am to 8:00 pm, closing an hour earlier than the Bead Factory in the South Terminal, which runs to 9:00 pm. That gap matters for a late-evening departure out of Central versus South. Neighbors here run to food, not retail: Jackson Soul Food, QUORE Gelato and Skittles Remix all sit within the same stretch of the G-concourse walkway, so this is the one stop nearby for a gift or accessory rather than something to eat before a flight.
